This was an essay that I did for a paper at Amsterdam University recently. I’ve tried to format it as closely as possible to the original pdf.

I’m not a fan of smart cities. These could just as easily be renamed surveillance cities but I only really hint at this in this essay. We do though need to start using less oil and its byproducts even if its more to conserve these non-renewable assets (over centuries rather than decades) than it is to reduce CO2 emissions.
